00:03 The numbers might look crazy, especially depending on where you think Jared Goff
00:07 falls in the National Football League.
00:10 I would consider him maybe as crazy as this sounds,
00:13 a top ten quarterback currently in the National Football League.
00:16 He is ranked in the top ten in passing yards each of the past two NFL seasons.
00:21 It has been a reason the Lions have been on the rise in the NFC around
00:25 the National Football League.
00:27 Last year's second most passing yards in the NFL, 4,575,
00:32 leading the Lions to their first divisional crown in
00:35 the National Football League in three decades.
00:39 Their first playoff win in 32 years,
00:42 their first NFC Championship game appearance in 32 seasons as well.
00:47 Also the sixth most two years ago with more than 4,400 in 2022.
00:52 I believe Jared Goff is deserving of this number, and
00:56 because of where the quarterback market is going.
00:59 Second highest paid quarterback at this moment, only behind Joe Burrow, and
01:04 you see those other names.
01:06 But with a ton of quarterbacks due for a pay raise this summer,
01:10 with the likes of Dak Prescott, or maybe even a Trevor Lawrence.
01:13 I don't know if Jared Goff will enter 2024 by the time we kick on that Thursday
01:18 night in Kansas City, even as the second highest paid QB,
01:22 knowing the inflation rates of the quarterback salaries.
01:25 >> Exactly, and that's just what happens, and you have to get used to that here.
01:28 We saw it a lot, what a couple years ago, and
01:30 the NBA got that influx of a big, big money contract for television.
01:34 You were seeing like bench guys getting 50 and $60 million going,
01:37 like what happened here?
01:38 And now you're eventually going to see guys making 75 and
01:41 $80 million a year in the NBA.
01:43 Same thing with the NFL, as the sport stays popular here.
01:46 Every single time you re-up all these contracts, that's why we talk about,
01:49 hey, Peacock's gonna get a game, Netflix is gonna get a game.
01:52 You see all of these things, that's all hundreds of millions,
01:54 if not billions of dollars into the coffers of the NFL,
01:58 which does get spread out to the players.
01:59 So it's not a surprise anymore.
02:01 And again, the theory behind paying your quarterbacks and
02:04 your top rated players, pay them earlier.
02:07 The longer you wait, it only costs you money.
02:09 If you have a top flight wide receiver, pay him here.
02:12 Don't wait, cuz you know what's gonna happen next?
02:13 Justin Jefferson will get his, and then Jamar Chase wants to get his.
02:16 Sign them first, save millions of dollars on your bottom line here.
02:19 >> For sure. >> Jared Goff is the latest there,
02:21 waited it out, good move by the agent, there you go.
